Big News! Lucy Hale Is Hosting the VMAs Red Carpet, and We Have the Exclusive Scoop!

This might be the best year yet.

Oh hello, MTV Video Music Awards fans. We just thought we'd casually deliver a little bit of new information about the big show on Sunday, August 24, which you may or may not have been impatiently waiting for. Who are we kidding—if you're anything like us, the date is circled in red on your calendar and you already have your party planned. This is the Moonman we're talking about, after all. And as of right now, the whole thing gets even better: Lucy Hale is officially hosting the MTV VMA Red Carpet prior to the show! A cool gig for a cool girl at one of the coolest events of the year.

Lucy couldn't be more pumped, and will be joined by two MTV faves for the live hour-long pre-show: Christina Garibaldi and Sway. "I'm so excited to be working with MTV," Lucy tells us. "They've been so supportive of me and I love them. It's gonna be an amazing night!" We second that.

So what will Lucy be doing the entire hour? From 8pm EST to the 9pm show time, we not only get to see her catch up with all our favorite people on the carpet, but there's a couple performances to watch out for too: Fifth Harmony and Charli XCX, which are both (obviously) going to be major. And as if that's not awesome enough, we still have the star-studded event to follow, where there's a line-up of even more must-see performances from the likes of Taylor Swift and Iggy Azalea. In other words: Let's get this party started.
